Iran has accused Israel of carrying out a drone strike near the Barakah nuclear power plant in the United Arab Emirates, escalating already heightened tensions across the Gulf region. According to the Iranian media, the alleged attack targeted an electrical generator outside the facility’s inner perimeter, raising fears of a potential environmental and nuclear risk. Iranian military sources claim the strike was a deliberate provocation aimed at destabilizing relations between Gulf states and Tehran. Israel has not officially responded to the accusations. The UAE has said its air defenses intercepted multiple drones, with one reaching the site. The incident has intensified concerns over regional security and the safety of critical nuclear infrastructure.

He said conflicts would no longer remain limited to geographical boundaries, with digital networks, cyber infrastructure and information systems also becoming part of warfare. Highlighting India’s growing defence capabilities, Chauhan said domestic defence production had reached nearly Rs 1.27 lakh crore and exports crossed Rs 38,000 crore.
